“A Delightful Children’s Picture Book That Will Leave You With a Warm Fuzzy Feeling”
Lorilyn Roberts Book Review
Tadeo Turtle is a one-of-a-kind children’s book with a wonderful message: God has made you perfect, just the way you are. In addition to being entertaining and imparting a strong spiritual message, the illustrations will capture the hearts and minds of young children.
Colorful drawings of a scary cat, a sweet squirrel, and other animals in their natural surroundings will open the door to discussions about the need to preserve all of God’s creations. Ms. Cox has cleverly provided resources at the end with web links for further study.

The endearing image of Tadeo and his problem will make this a favorite story for young and old alike—a story with which we can all identify. The craft activities included will broaden inquisitive young minds to explore God’s creation further. Tadeo Turtle is the best book for children I have read in a long time.
I look forward to taking this delightful book with me to Nepal to help support the reading needs of orphan children.

Janis Cox is a faithful follower of Jesus. She is a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Married to a wonderful husband, they have three grown children who are married, six grandchildren, and a new one on the way.
She is a writer, watercolour artist, and a person who is constantly engaged in various activities. She has her fingers in many pies, but all of them are delicious. A friend once told her that she saw a vision of her with a whole bunch of coloured balloons, and she tried to capture each one of them.
As a former public school teacher, she enjoyed writing poems for her students. With this background, she has now published her first illustrated children’s book, Tadeo Turtle.
She runs a group blog, Under the Cover of Prayer. She is a member of The Word Guild, Inscribe, and American Christian Writers. Her website is www.janiscox.com.
Thank you for the wonderful review of Tadeo Turtle.
I hope to make it a part of the Nepali library we will be starting soon.
That sounds exciting. Blessings in all you do.
